Pitch a tent under a black sky or bet it all on black in roulette—whatever your OOO looks like, there’s something for you in the Garden State. With seven different regions for your camping adventure, NJ offers landscapes for both glamping fifth-wheelers or paddle-in primitive campers. If neither are your style, casinos and luxury hotels can be found on the shoreline and beyond, offering a mix of amenities, entertainment and culinary experiences for the discernible traveler.
Set Up Camp
Jellystone Park in Williamstown is a family-centric Yogi Bear-themed campground that makes for lifelong vacation memories with everything from a huge activity pool and jumping lake floats to laser tag, sports courts and themed events. For a real rugged retreat (no vehicle access), Round Valley Recreation Area Campground is the only NJ State Park that offers wilderness camping—so be prepared to either backpack, mountain bike, boat or paddle to your secluded campsite in the woods. Panther Lake Camping Resort in Andover is known for its namesake, a beautiful 45-acre freshwater lake and gorgeous scenery. About as close to camping on the beach as you can get without the sea birds and sand, Surf & Stream Campground in Toms River is sublime for a quiet getaway to cook over the campfire and connect with nature. If fishing is your thing, Windy Acres RV Park & Campground in Newton allows you to cast from the comfort of your campsite and provides Wi-Fi throughout the park to share your next trophy catch with your online friends.
Raise the Stakes
Spice up your vacation with a burlesque show at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, or indulge in some self-care at the onsite spa, salon or barbershop. With Atlantic City Beach and Steel Pier just steps away, check in to the iconic Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and test your luck at one of the 5,000 slot machines or rock out at a Sound Waves concert. Ocean Casino Resort, the newest addition to the casino lineup in Atlantic City, dazzles travelers with its striking glass facade, luxury studio suites and a private Blade helicopter ride to/from NYC that’ll make you feel like an action hero. Originally opened in the early 80s, Tropicana Atlantic City knows how to entertain with games of chance, themed restaurants and disco events at their nightclubs to dance the night away. As one of the top-rated sportsbooks in the nation, Caesars Atlantic City is the place to wine and dine like royalty for those willing to chance the parlay in an opulent Roman setting, including nine highly-rated restaurants on property.
